My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Ranger Crosby, a one-year-old, long and lean, agile, playful, fun, sweet and gentle spotted tabby cat who has tested positive for the feline leukemia virus is looking for a loving guardian.

This smart and resourceful cat popped out from under a car and approached a woman walking a dog; that was around Halloween 2016.

The cat had excellent judgment, as the woman was not only a cat lover, but also a veterinarian.

She ran home with her dog to grab a cat carrier. She gathered up the scruffy cat and brought him home with her. He was covered with fleas and his paw pads were raw from his travels. He had a cracked canine tooth, and wasn’t neutered or micro-chipped. He ate and ate and ate … only stopping momentarily to accept some cuddles and affection. Sadly, he also tested positive for FeLV.

He has been a wonderful houseguest, and loves to get up high to look down on his surroundings. He now needs to find a home of his own without other cats, or with cat-friendly dogs. The virus is not transmittable to humans or dogs.

Ranger Crosby has grown from seven to 11 pounds in just a few months. He is now neutered, his cracked tooth has been extracted, his paws have healed and he is vaccinated and micro-chipped. He is a healthy, happy fellow being fostered in Chicago’s lakeview neighborhood. If you’d like to meet and possibly adopt Ranger Crosby, please contact Suma at suma@uwalumni.com
